['Sup, Luceti, guess who's back? So missions totally suck, but at least he wasn't on the ocean this time. It was still snowy and wet and miserable in general, but hey, he can't complain too much. It beats being experimented on.

Still, it's not like it was a particularly troublesome or dangerous mission, so he'll be tromping and looking rather cranky to House 23.

And it only gets worse from there! Because Winry is still sick (of course), and someone will surely be kind enough to tell him that Al's been kidnapped. Again. And there's going to be a draft now, and he's not on it, even though the enemies are being captured instead of killed, and goddammit this week sucks.

In other words, it's not long before he's out and about again, slightly more aggressive in his stance and occasionally punching trees, because there's very little else he can do right now. He will pop by to visit the friends or acquaintances of his that are drafted, though (or at least get close enough to where they live to look like he's thinking about checking on them).

...Well, there's at least one thing he can do to distract himself, so he'll try the journal later that night.]

...Hey, got a question. What kind of a gift can you get a girl without giving them the wrong idea or something?

Then... would she like jewelry, maybe? I think certain types of girls like hairclips or phonestraps too!

Phonestraps? Why would you put one on a phone? To keep the receiver from falling or something?

[Hallo thar, pre-cellphone era.]

Rece-...? [Nah, couldn't be. How would a society with something like alchemy not have created the mobile yet??]

Um, I think they're meant to look cute?

Wouldn't it get in the way, though? They're already attached to the wall, so adding an extra cord could just get messy.

... Well, you'd usually attach them to a mobile?

A mobile what?

A mobile phone? Ah, a cell?

...Phones can be mobile?

Ah... is it really possible that Elric-san's world doesn't have such things?

Not that I've ever seen. Our phones are way too big and heavy to make mobility practical. Anyway, there's phone booths all over the place.

So Elric-san's world is still in that era...? Then, I guess satellite communication is also something we should rule out.

Sorry, never heard of it.

Is space travel at all present in your world?

Space travel? No way, we can't even get vehicles off the ground yet.

Eh... you guys have things like... trains at least, right? Combustible engines?

Yeah, we have trains- and most of the big cities have cars, too.

Hm... with something like that, how would this fit into my world's history...

No idea. Is it really a good idea to draw parallels between worlds like that, though? You might just end up more confused than before.

But if I find enough cases of overlap between our different worlds, I might gain some insight into how the Malnosso select us!

I don't know, maybe. If it helps any, the year was 1915 on my world when I was dragged here.

Wow... it's hard to believe, but that means there's almost a century between us!

They're probably completely different worlds, what did you expect?

Well, when you put it like that, I guess being shocked is a little silly, huh...

Kind of, yeah. But I guess it's not something that everyone thinks about.

[ooc: Ed's icons are about to expire, so if you wanna continue, please go here!]
